High Performance MP's on the Cheap-Going Mobile

We've been seeing the Mobile Barton XP's and their high overclocking potential for some months now. But maybe you have an MPX sitting around that could use a serious refresh without a big investment. In our Forums, Caprid shows the details of setting up these wonderfully flexible CPUs to make a powerful workstation running 2 x 2600 Mhz.

A pair of 2.5Ghz chips would be a nice boost to the aging and dieing MPX platform. It's been done by a few already, but the Mobile Athlons are a little different than the desktop Athlon XPs, so we're going to see how to get them up to speed."
